  Use this skill to create and manage backups of ChainlessChain application data.
  Supports backing up the database, configuration, permanent memory, and skills.
  Backups are stored as ZIP archives in .chainlesschain/backups/. Can create named
  snapshots, list existing backups, restore from a backup, inspect contents, and
  clean old backups. Uses archiver for ZIP creation and adm-zip for extraction.
examples:
  - input: "/backup-manager --create --name daily-backup --items db,config,memory"
    output: "Backup created: daily-backup-2026-02-17.zip (3 items, 12.5 MB)"
  - input: "/backup-manager --list"
    output: "Found 4 backups: daily-backup-2026-02-17.zip (12.5 MB), ..."
  - input: "/backup-manager --restore daily-backup-2026-02-17.zip"
    output: "Restored 3 items from daily-backup-2026-02-17.zip"
  - input: "/backup-manager --info daily-backup-2026-02-17.zip"
    output: "Backup details: 3 items (db, config, memory), 12.5 MB, created 2026-02-17"
  - input: "/backup-manager --clean --keep 3"
    output: "Cleaned 2 old backups, kept 3 most recent"
